Each of the boys was given a prize.
A number of prizes were on display.
Explanation:
- While rearranging the jumbled words we look for the subject of the simple sentence first.
- After we find the subject of the sentence, we look for the action happening in the sentence.
- Then we look or the object of the sentence.
- Thus, the formula for rearranging a simple sentence can be Subject + Verb + Object.
a) Each of the boys was given a prize.
b) A number of prizes were on display
Explanation:
- To rearrange sentences, we must follow the below rule
- For statements: subject+functioning verb+(preposition)+object. Statements are called affirmatives.
- For questions (interrogatives)
- Yes/no questions: verb+subject+preposition+object.
- hw/wh questions: Hw/wh interrogative word+verb+ subject+(preposition)+object.
- For request/orders/suggestions: verb+(preposition)+object.
While there are no rules in place to solve these challenges with jumbled sentences, more & more practise can bring in perfection in approaching these type of jumbled sentence problems
Some key tips
a. Spotting the terms of linking words & transition words: Next step is the detection of the words of transition, which include moving from one concept to another. Two of the most often used words for change are: however, generally, for instance, likewise, rather, nevertheless, etc.
b. Pronoun Identification: The last step is to recognise the pronouns used in the given statement. Again, the pronouns can be separated into three types:
- Relative Pronoun: what is made up of terms like who, whom, why and, what, and how.
- Demonstrative Pronoun: it consists primarily o, such terms like this, these, those, that
- Personal Pronoun (personal pronoun):Personal pronoun is made up with terms including he, she, him, her, you, they, it.
After these pronouns are established, one must search all alternatives and attempt to create a rational and coherent relation with all words.
